Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 large eggs
  • 80 milliliters whole milk (1/3 cup)
  • 15 milliliters olive oil (1 tablespoon)
  • 1 small onion (about 70 grams), diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper (about 120 grams), diced
  • 60 grams spinach (2 cups), fresh
  • 60 grams feta cheese (1/2 cup), crumbled
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Equipment

  • 1 10-inch oven-safe non-stick skillet or cast iron pan
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 oven mitts

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  4. Add the spinach to the pan and cook, stirring, until wilted (about 1–2 minutes).
  5. Spread the vegetables evenly in the pan. Pour the egg mixture over the veggies, tilting the pan to distribute evenly. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top.
  6. Cook over medium-low heat without stirring for about 5–6 minutes, until the edges begin to set but the center is still slightly runny.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is slightly golden.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven (use oven mitts!). Let the frittata cool for 2–3 minutes. Slice into wedges and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Feel free to substitute or add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes.
For a creamier texture, add 2 tablespoons of cream cheese to the egg mixture.
Leftovers can be enjoyed cold or reheated gently.
Ensure the skillet handle is oven-safe before placing it in the oven.
